The life of an ordinary girl

"We should work twice harder to beat the genius." says Rock Lee in Naruto. And I agree with it.

Icky...this is specially for you. I will love you always

It has been quite sometime since I updated my blog…many things happened when I did not update my blog. The chronicles have to stop for a while because things come up on and on without giving me a chance to take a breath.
First and foremost, it is a pain in my heart that I did not have the chance to show you all my new pet—Icky.
And it died on 10th of March. I was so devastated. It came to our house on 28th of February and now, she is buried in the earth in my front lawn. She didn’t even survive for one month! I feel so awful that I am such an awful owner…
She came in to our family with her big fat body. When she bundles up, she looks just like a furry ball, absolutely cute!
She even sleeps when she is running in the wheel. Using the wheel as her pillow. She is a magnificent pet.
On the 9th, before we went upstairs to get some sleep, my siblings, excluding Bao, who went up to sleep quite early. Felt weird that she didn’t run the wheel like usual when the sky turns dark.
So, all of us decided to have a look on her. When I touched her, she didn’t even wake up from her sleep. I took her out and she was breathing lightly. Her head was hanging over my palm. At that moment I realized something was not right. I held her head and saw her still sleeping. No mater how I move her up and down, she doesn’t seem to wake up.
Finally, after waiting for half an hour, she woke up, but she didn’t move. She just looks at me with the weak look on her face.
I was so scare that I quickly took her to a much brighter place so that I can have a better look on her.
She is still breathing slowly. I held her in my palms, hoping that she will be ok and turns around and bite me instead, for disturbing her sleep. But she just lies at there, looking at me, as if paralyzed.
I out her down into the basket and she just slump at there, not moving, with her eyes wide open, look just like she is going to die. I quickly took her up again and this time I never let her leave me.
Suddenly, she started to vomit, nothing came out, but it is obvious that she is in pain. I was so helpless; I can’t do a thing to help her! Seeing her suffer makes me feel horrible. Why can’t I even help her to reduce her pain???
Later, she was breathing fast, heart beat was fast, trying to sit up but unable. Tears were pooling in my eyes. All I can do was giving her warmth from my palm, other than that, I can do nothing. I just hope that my touch can comfort her a little bit.
Then, with a stretch, she didn’t move anymore. Her breathing stopped, her heart beat was not felt in my hands.
She died in my hands. All I do was hold to her body. And keep her warm. Although she is dead.
In my heart, I really wish that she will have a better family to live in rather than to end up as my pet anymore. That is if Karma exists…if Karma doesn’t exist, I can only say that this post is dedicated t her. Although she is in the family for a short time, but she is well remembered by us.
The sound of the wheel squeaking while she is running in it is no more to be heard by us.
No more harassment of the sound during our sleep. But sometimes, as if that she is still with us, I can hear the wheel turning. But, when I looked, there were nothing in the cage. Just an empty cage…fills my heart with regrets and heart aches…
Funny, that your name is Icky because when you came into our family, we didn’t know your gender, so we decided to give this name, which suites for boy or girl, since it is eccentric.^^ hopefully you actually like it.
